Nigeria’s premium Blockchain Conference of Value and Innovation, annually organised and curated by Blockchain Nigeria User Group, is on its 7th leg, returning to Lagos for the 3rd consecutive season, bigger, stronger and better.
Africa is home to 16.3 percent of humanity but home to less than 1 percent of the world’s billion-dollar companies and only about 4 percent of global GDP. Africa cannot afford, nor does it have to miss the possibilities of the fourth Industrial Revolution (4RI) to better her lot.
At the upcoming #LagosBlockchain2019, attendees will discover how Blockchain, Artificial Intelligence (AI), IoT, Big Data and Virtual Financial Assets are altering and disrupting incumbents and creating new opportunities for forwarding thinking individuals.
